Coure Flashcards
What is neuropsychology?
Étude de la relation entre le cerveau et le comportement humain
Includes understanding normal and abnormal brain functioning.
What does neuropsychology focus on?
Rôle des structures cérébrales et impacts des troubles neurologiques
Such as développementaux, acquis ou dégénératifs.
Who are some key figures in the history of neuropsychology?
Luria, Broca, Brenda Milner, Maryse Lassonde
Notable for their contributions to the field.
What is a key goal of neuropsychological assessment?
Déterminer la présence ou non d’un trouble cognitif
Identify factors neurologiques and psychoaffectifs.
What is the purpose of cognitive remediation?
Réentrainer certaines fonctions cérébrales
Such as attention and social skills.
True or False: Neuropsychological evaluation is solely about administering tests.
False
It also involves analyzing behavior and understanding brain function.
What are some methods used in experimental neuropsychology?
Études de cas, manipulation de l’activité mentale, stimulation, imagerie
Aim to build theoretical models.
Fill in the blank: The cognitive functioning is described as _______.
Ensemble de réseaux ou de circuits fonctionnels complexes
These networks work in parallel and are modular.
What are the components of cognitive functioning?
Réseaux fonctionnels, modularité, interrelation entre modules
A l’impact d’une lésion cérébrale.
What is the goal of establishing cognitive profiles in clinical neuropsychology?
Aide au diagnostic différentiel
To understand cognitive and behavioral consequences of neurological dysfunction.
What types of tests are generally used in neuropsychological evaluation?
Tests psychométriques
Requires clinician knowledge about tests and brain function.
What is the importance of understanding the normal relationship between brain and behavior?
Distinguish between psychopathology and normal functioning
Essential for accurate assessment.
What aspects are included in cognitive assessment?
Rendement, compétences verbales et non verbales, processus de traitement
Includes visual/auditory modes of information reception.
What does cognitive intervention aim to achieve?
Optimiser le fonctionnement cognitif
Through strategies that compensate for difficulties.
What is the significance of cognitive flexibility in neuropsychological intervention?
Réorganiser les fonctions cérébrales pour améliorer l’efficacité
Helps in adapting to cognitive challenges.
What are the functional consequences of brain lesions?
Impact on behavior and cognitive abilities
Establishing links between brain areas and observed behaviors.
What do neuropsychologists infer from behavioral patterns associated with brain lesions?
Rôle des différentes régions cérébrales
Helps in understanding functional consequences.
What is involved in the intervention phase of neuropsychology?
Plan d’intervention ou de réadaptation
Based on assessment outcomes.
